Welcome to the Malta Futsal School

Futsal is a growing sport on the Maltese Islands. In the past years a lot of progress has been done, the domestic league has quickly taken shape having 4 divisions and 69 teams, with the winner of the top division (1st division) competing each year in the European Futsal Cup. The past few years have been fundamental to this sport in Malta. The MFA introduced the National Team of Futsal in 2006 and foreign coaches were brought to Malta to further improve the level of the game and broaden the talent of local players.

The introduction of Futsal School in Malta will definitely be a benefit to the game and the growth of football on the Maltese Islands. We, at the Malta Futsal School believe that children can develop the overall fundamentals of football more effectively. It has been proven that youth players develop quicker reflexes, faster thinking and pinpoint passing when practising Futsal.

Malta Futsal School will kick off this coming September 2010. Training sessions will be held once a week at De La Salle College. We have recognised Thursdays between 5pm and 6:30pm as the ideal training day. Training sessions will be conducted by specialised coaches who also form or formed part of the Malta Futsal National Team under the guidance of Mr. Jonathan Pisani, founder of the school.

Why Futsal?
Futsal is the official five-a-side indoor football game and the only indoor football recognized by FIFA. Futsal is beginning to take our island by storm as more and more football players, coaches, clubs and associations discover the unique and positive qualities of Futsal. It is a game played around the world with many of today’s world stars beginning their youth football by playing Futsal. The Brazilians attribute their world football success to Futsal with the likes of Pele, Zico, Ronaldhino, Ronaldo, Kaka and Roberto Carlos who grew up playing Futsal and credit Futsal with developing their skills.
Futsal is a small-sided game (5 vs 5 including goalkeepers) played on a small field roughly the size of a basketball court. The official ball is a special low bounce ball that is heavier and smaller than an official size 5 football. The ball forces a player to use their skill rather than the ball’s bounce to propel it. Corners can be taken and throw-ins are replaced by kick-ins from touch lines, both of which must be taken within 4 seconds. This makes the game very fast, dynamic and exciting. Futsal is a complete skill game.

IT’S FUN, IT’S FAST, IT’S FUTSAL
